Larivee F33 Mandolin

I have for sale my beautiful Larivee Mandolin. I have found that I just never play this wonderful instrument anymore, so the time has come to part with it. I purchased this years ago when I was still playing. This instrument has seen a LOT of stage time. I used to play around the theaters in Pigeon Forge and had to have a pickup, so an endpin/bridge pickup was installed. The neck has been 'speed necked' for ease in playing. Other than that, she's all original. The case was never used, so it is like new. I had a gig bag that I carried it around in. It hasn't truly been played in over 6 years except to take it out and change the strings every now and again. The instrument is quite rare and out of production. I am unsure of the year of production, but I've had it about around 10 years. The serial number is 109506  It is all solid woods and varnish finish made in USA. The top has a nice brown stain, not a sunburst. The sound is bell like, loud and clear. The mandolin takes about 1/2 hour of play time and then just bursts to life.. it 'goes to sleep'. I had always heard about instruments like that but out of the hundreds that I've owned in my time, this one is truly like that.. It projects amazing, plays like butter, and is a beautiful work of art.. Since I own Lakota Leathers strap company I am offering this fine instrument with a free strap of your choosing. Please email me for any further questions or pics. Asking $2350 + shipping.
